W/ my former student Chris Campbell, we look at the relationship between natural hazard & regulation changes. Hazards may lower the cost of policy making incentivizing logrolling. We find that different hazards are associated with distinct policy response.

The instrumental variables (IV) method has been widely studied in cross-sectional settings. However, many practical applications involve panel data, in settings where a unit's treatment status may turn on or off over time. I show that in the presence of dynamic treatment effects, that is, if past treatments affect current potential outcomes, standard methods are no longer valid if the instruments are serially correlated. This paper proposes the nonparametric identification of dynamic causal effects in a potential outcomes framework in which potential outcomes depend on the treatment path taken by a unit through time but the first stage is static, in the sense that at each period the IV only instruments its contemporary treatment. I provide a nonparametric estimator that is unbiased over the randomization distribution and derive its finite population limiting distribution as the sample size increase.
